Help with Asian Handicap

  • hi
    im looking to work through a qualifying bet of £50 using dutching.
    The bet i am looking at is in the Asian Handicap market which im not too familiar with.
    This is the bet
    Home team to win £42 at odds of 2.20 and Away Team +0.5 at odds of 1.85

    Have i got all outcomes covered?

  • New to matched betting?

    My Matched Betting Academy is the best place to get started. Learning the fundamentals takes 10-15 minutes and you’ll make £15 in the process.

    Yes, this is fine (assuming your stake is correct for the AH +0.5).

    Please can a helpful soul clear something up for me?

    Is ‘Man U – 1’ exactly the same thing in both the “Team A + 1” market and the “Asian Handicap” market on Betfair? I ask as the odds seem to differ widely on some selections. TIA

    …and depending on confirmation of the above I may have a nice wee arb to share 😉

    It’s not Tony, and the Example you gave on Villa on Sunday wasn’t right either, presumming you’re talking about Euro handicaps here of course?

    The euro handicap taking into account a draw, in which case a bet can lose. The Asian handicap eliminates the draw with 0.5

    They’re not the same markets. AH -1 is different to the Team -1 market. Exactly as Dan has said… AH -1.5 is the same at Team -1 for clarity.

    Thanks fellas – I understand now. The deal I saw is still an arb, but not quite as profitable as I thought, haha! 🙂


    @Dan87
    – don’t think I directed anyone to use Asian Handicap in my Villa thread? In fact quite the opposite, I said that using the “Villa +1” market was as valid a tactic as using Asian Handicap. Happy to be corrected, but I feel the need to point this out as I purposely take care to make sure what I post is correct after once posting a misleading thread (that I corrected nearly instantly).
